- Mortality of control: 0
- Other adverse effects control: none reported
- Abnormal responses: Dark discolouration of the fish was observed in the test concentrations of 180 and 320 mg/l representing a 10% effect on remaining fish after 96 hours. The abnormal effects progressed from 560 mg/l initially to 180 mg/1 after 96 hours.
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: none reported
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: none reported
